Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain

The FAA approved the PA-31-350 Chieftain in May 1972. It has one Lycoming TIO-540-J2BD and one LTIO-540-J2BD engine, both turbocharged and rated at 350 horsepower, turning propellers up to 80 inches across; the later T1020 version is on the same data sheet. The data sheet gives a maximum take-off weight of 7,000 lb, or 3,175 kg, two crew seats and six or eight optional cabin seats, and 192 or 246 US gallons of fuel capacity, depending on the tanks fitted. No acceptable source read gives its dimensions or speeds, so this page has no drawing.
